So I’ve been starting to look further into the Fediverse and using it a lot more than any other part of the internet at this point. I wanna know the reasons why people might prefer Lemmy or Mastodon, I have both but seem to lean towards Lemmy for some reason, but not sure why maybe it’s the simple design and you can find topics a little easier or it might be because I prefer the idea of Reddit over twitter.

Why do you prefer Lemmy? (or mastodon?)

    I tried Mastodon in November but in March I had to quit as I noticed it took almost all the free time I had as I tried to be an active user there. It also had an effect on my personal life and mental health.

    Lemmy seems so much better for me as the threads remain visible in the communities and I can get back to them anytime I want. In Mastodon it was difficult to find the thread the next day as there was so much conversation after the previous visit. I’m so happy I discovered Lemmy.

      That makes so much sense, It’s easier to keep up with Lemmy compared to Mastodon, Like I woke up to over 30 amazing responses on my posts and now I can look through all of these and maybe write some small things in communities and move on instead of having to get around finding all the topics I want to talk about and look for.
